Oppenheim

Costumed tour “With the night watchman through Oppenheim”

Only riffraff meet at night? Not at all, because our night watchmen also take respectable people with them on their nightly rounds through Oppenheim. Learn about the way of life of people in the Middle Ages and the position of night watchmen. See Oppenheim from a different perspective in the dark. Enjoy a night walk with a difference.
